I can sympathise with the shipping woes - I'm in Australia. So, I faced a US$45 shipping plus a Paypal exchange rate (not very appealing I'm told) plus a Paypal currency exchange fee (2.5% I think). I ended up ordering through an organisation that purchases on behalf of the client in the US then ships to Aus..

I calculate that I got my hot little hands on the Pocket Pro (after 8 days!) for around AUS$285.

That may not sound that great, but the best online price I could find (within Australia) was AUS$389 (for a BeBook) - and that probably would have had a shipping cost added to it.

I have to say, the Pocket Pro was worth the trouble.
